3rd birthday

Chad and Elliot celebrated on his birthday with a pre-dinner trip to the local ice cream shop. They wore the crowns that Vrim helped Elliot make during the walk there and back. Apparently they got some extra attention- and Elliot got some birthday cash from a neighbor. Elliot got to open his gifts including a really cool box from Chad's eldest sister and her family. There were individually wrapped presents with riddles on the outside and the box was littered with what seemed like a family size bag of chocolate kisses. He loved it.














Sunday we had a birthday party. Learning from last year, we told E he could invite 3 of his friends. We finally thought it was time to break out the silly string Grandma and Grandpa sent Elliot a while back so we littered the front yard while it was still sunny and warm. We had mini brioche bun burgers, sweet potato fries and, by request, banana cake (really yellow cake with banana pudding in between and a chocolate sour cream frosting) with peanut butter ice cream. Vrim and Robert brought E two goldfish in a new house and Laura and Chris introduced Moon Sand to the group. Thanks everybody!
